Not that I've ever picked it up myself, but I don't believe this locomotive weighs 90,000#. As it is the sister to Western & Atlantic #3, and was built by the same company, based on information off the Confederate States of America Railroads page, www.csa-railroads.com, for "Savannah, Albany & Gulf Locomotives" roster page, which was a partner of Atlantic & Gulf RR, the locomotive weighs 22 tons, 44,000#. In reality it probably weighs 22-25 tons, dry weight. 90,000# seems really high for a southern railroad in 1858.
